By Rommel C. Lontayao, Reporter
If the presidential elections scheduled in May 2010 were held today,
it would be a practically neck-and-neck race between Sen. Manuel
Villar Jr. and former President Joseph Estrada, an opinion poll
reported Tuesday.
In the latest Pulse Asia survey, one in four
voters (25 percent) favored Villar as the country’s next head of
state, and one in five voters (20 percent) chose Estrada as the
country’s president despite his 2001 overthrow and conviction for
corruption.
